Found a bottle of wine from my Wedding at the in laws house. Knowing they don't have a clue about wine storage and also knowing it was a short term drinker to begin with made me hesitant. It was awful. Took a couple of sips from the glass I poured with dinner and left it.

Tonight, we'll finish up the Barrell 27 and the Wellington Cab, both of which were excellent. The Rasa was also very good, but expected a little more. Thinking I hyped it up a little too much in my head after having their more affordable second label offerings from PB Wines. I'll probably still buy this cab in the upcoming futures release in May, but probably not as many as previously thought.

Mentioned it in a previous post, but the 2011 Apsara Las Madres Syrah I had on Friday was outstanding. Will be ordering more of these and am looking forward to their next release to buy up some more! Mouth watering, juicy black and blue fruits. Has that definitive Las Madres olive note along with a long, rounded finish. Fruits were front and center but in no way over the top, no big over extracted flavors, just perfect. Thought this would need a good amount of air to get going but I was wrong. Great from PnP, though everything really smoothed out and was ready to go a little less than an hour in. This stuff is drinking great, still thinking about it today.

It will be a nice daily drinker, delivered more than I expected. Wish I had picked up more during the Cindy sale. I'm going to have to walk in, hat in hand, and see if I can maybe eek a half case out of them at about the same price. Wife loved it, so even if they won't, will need to pick up a few at regular price, which is also a steal (~$14?)

Last night, had a 2010 Hardin Cab. Super QPR at ~$20 from WL. Lots of red fruit, smooth entry and very nice length on the finish. No formal notes taken. Very easy week day drinker, will stock up on some more. My wife loved it, so it gets an extra gold star.

Saw Stillman today at a wine tasting and tried his Viognier, Deep Purple Petite Sirah, and a preview of a CA coastal Pinot Noir he's about to bottle. Star of the night, in my opinion, was the bottle of 2008 Hug Cellars Booker Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon- man that was good stuff.
